Holly Homer and Kids Activities Blog
Let me tell you a little about myself and the inspiration (and amazing team) behind Kids Activities.
I am Holly Homer.
I am the mom of three boys…very active boys! In fact, it was apparent early-on that keeping them busy would be a strong strategy for my motherhood sanity. The boys are now 13, 15 & 17 and are partially-homeschooled.
Partially-homeschooled?
Yep! They attend a classical education school 2 1/2 days a week and are home-schooled 2 days a week. Each of them started in this system in Kindergarten, so they don’t even understand 5 day a week school!
Our house is pretty chaotic. You may have seen our dog named Panda on Instagram (or appearing frequently in articles here on Kids Activities Blog). She is a French Bulldog that has taken over the house.
My husband is a “retired” physician. He now works full-time on our online & offline projects. His specialty is video and does all the production of our online shows.
As my boys have grown, so has the Kids Activities team. In fact, we have the best team around for having fun with kids. Meet them here.
Blog’s I’m Involved In
Kids Activities Blog {aka Quirky Momma} – I joined Rachel over at KAB a year ago. I LOVE kids activities and it is a celebration of things to do with kids over there. It is all fun and nothing else. Check out our FB page, @quirkymommasite and G+.
Business 2 Blogger – B2B was my idea to organize the way companies find bloggers. I had lots of help. It is super simple. Businesses post what kind of blogger help they need on our job board. The bloggers apply to the jobs that are a good fit with their blog. The company chooses the bloggers that are a good fit with their expectations. I have been running blogger campaigns for years…literally years. I take on one project at a time. If you would like to discuss your project, please send me an email! B2B is on FB, @Biz2Blogger and G+.
She is Dallas – She is Dallas is a website for women in the DFW area. It celebrates all things fun and interesting in Dallas-Fort Worth and beyond. It is a collective blog run by me. Last year over 60 Dallas bloggers submitted content to the site. I love that the website tells the story of life in my city from all different perspectives. She is Dallas on FB & She is Dallas on Twitter. Oh and we are on G+ too.
DFW Bloggers – Shauna and I started DFW Bloggers so that local bloggers (not just mom blogs!) could find each other and we could gather a list for Dallas blogger events. I feel so lucky that I have been able to meet many of the 575+ bloggers listed there. Blogging isn’t just about writing, it is about connecting. DFW Bloggers on Twitter
Holly Homer’s Kids Activities Books
One of the most unexpected opportunities coming from Kids Activities Blog is 3 published books by Page Street Publishing. Each one is an extension of the fun we have here on the site. One thing we learned after the first book is that KIDS READ THESE BOOKS.
While this blog is written to moms, dads, teachers, care-givers, babysitters, the books are super easy for a kid to pick up and choose their own adventure!
101 Kids Activities That Are the Ooey, Gooey-est Ever!
This is the latest book just released on December 4, 2018! It is overflowing with ooey-gooey, homemade ideas for making playdough, slime and other ishy, squishy play recipes.
The book is by Jamie Harrington, Brittanie Pyper & Holly Homer. All people who have worked extensively on Kids Activities Blog at some point.
Grab this book at your local bookstore, Barnes & Noble or right now on Amazon(affiliate).
101 Coolest Simple Science Experiments
I might be a little partial to this one since it has a glow-in-the-dark cover…I know! So cool!
101 Coolest Simple Science Experiments is for kids 5-12 (younger if adults are leading the fun) and jammed with science silliness.
With this book, you can do things both indoors and outdoors. The handy mess meter, preparation times and notes on the level of supervision will keep the entire family happy and safe. Experimenting is really fun, and everyone will have a blast being a scientist!
Shhh…it is so entertaining that you might not notice you are also learning important things about the world around you!
This book by Rachel Miller, Holly Homer & Jamie Harrington will turn your kitchen into a colorful laboratory.
Grab this book at your local bookstore, Barnes & Noble or right now on Amazon(affiliate).
101 Coolest Simple Science Experiments was chosen by Kohl’s as a Kohl’s Care Book in 2017 to be available at all Kohl’s locations to benefit children’s charities.
101 Kids Activities That Are The Bestest, Funnest Ever!
This is the book that started it all. Thank you Page Street Publishing!
101 Kids Activities That Are the Bestest, Funnest Ever! is for kids of all ages, plus parents, babysitters, grandparents and anyone that wants to have fun.
Each of the 101 activities have modifications for younger kids and modifications for older kids – so the entire family can play together!
We love that.
101 Kids Activities That Are the Bestest, Funnest Ever! was written by Holly Homer & Rachel Miller. Rachel was the founder of Quirky Momma which you now know as Kids Activities Blog.
This book was chosen by Kohl’s as a Kohl’s Care book 2016. It was sold at all Kohl’s registers across the country with 100% of the proceeds going to children’s charities. What an amazing thing!
